Rapper and Two Accused in $8M Check Fraud | Tampa News

Three people, including a rapper from L.A., face federal charges for a massive check-cashing scheme that stole millions — including over 50 Treasury checks — forging names and setting up fake accounts to cash tax refunds, veteran benefits, and Social Security payments worth $8.1 million between April 2022 and December 2023. One suspect allegedly cashed $229K from a single Treasury check, while another netted $772K from two checks. All could face up to 30 years each if convicted, with two already in custody and the third expected to surrender soon.
